Helpful Score: 1
I loved this story! The author obviously knows horses and show jumping; she captured the feeling of riding and being around horses perfectly, which is a rare feat. It's written in the first person, which I don't usually like--although Dick Francis wrote in first person his entire career and his stories are BRILLIANT--but author Sara Gruen made her main character complex enough to keep me reading each night long after I should have been asleep.
And funny thing...Annemarie Zimmer wasn't a particularly likeable character, but much in the same way as Jane Austen's Emma Woodhouse and Margaret Mitchell's Scarlett O'Hara in "Gone With The Wind," I found her fascinating and her reactions to dilemmas to be a terrific read. Such a well-written book; I'm looking forward to reading the sequel "Flying Changes"
